    Been getting a few requests from people who want to post pictures in the forums but don’t know how.
    Here’s a quick tutorial.

    1. Create an account at photobucket.com http://photobucket.com/

    2. Make sure you are in “my album” (look at the tabs on the page)

    3. To your right on the webpage you will see an upload area, make sure it is on “images from my pc”

    4. Click the browse button.

    5. Navigate to the folder where your pictures are. (sometimes it’s easier just to drop a folder on your desktop for easy access) Try to make sure the photo is no bigger than 500 pixels wide.

    6. Upload your image.

    7. Add title or description if you want.

    8. Click save and continue.

    9. Copy the “IMG code”

    10. Put up your post in the forum.

    11. Paste the code you copied in step 9

    12. Click the old Submit button and your picture should appear.

    If you have questions, just respond to this thread. I’ll keep an eye on it.

    Peace.
    Brett

    If you want to link to a picture already on another website, start your post press the IMG button, enter the url to the picture, then press the Img button again.

    OK.
